Add option to weight terms according to the input order [#1311620]

When multiple terms are imported (using the individual fields or the textarea), the terms are added alphabetically, and not in their order as they are added, so the user's desired order is lost. (If the user wanted the terms to be listed alphabetically, he could perform that ordering before importing them, or sort them alphabetically using the core Taxonomy module's functionality.)

Title:	Terms added alphabetically, out of order	» Add option to weight terms according to the input order
Category:	bug	» feature

I don't want to modify the term weight in that case. People expect it to be '0' when they add a new term.
Furthermore the core interface behaves the same way, e.g. you add A, C, B -> you get A, B, C. Still you can manually re-order them.

Nevertheless I can think of an additional option on the term add interface (e.g. a checkbox with either import alphabetically or in input order) and thus mark this issue as feature request.
